Sparky Linux 5.9: SparkyLinux is a lightweight, fast, and simple Linux distribution designed for old and new computers.
Comes with too many desktops: Budgie, Enlightenment, JWM, KDE Plasma, LXDE, LXQt, MATE, Openbox, Xfce and CLI, meaning it supports command line management like any other Linux. The distribution uses LightDM for desktop manager.
SparkyLinux comes in three different versions and stopped supporting all the Desktop Environments it supported because quantity had a direct impact on quality.
Stable, based on the stable version of Debian. This version is recommended for new Linux users.
Rolling, based on the Debian testing branch, for those who choose the latest packages over stability
, and Development, which is only intended for testers and developers.
The Testing version of Debian includes all the packages (programs) that are not yet considered very stable and need to be tested. This version is not intended for use on servers or any computer that provides critical services. However, many people use it because the programs it contains are the most recent.
I have tried both the Rolling and Stable versions of SparkyLinux and I was impressed with the features it contains and its simplicity. The Polish developers managed to develop a distribution with all the goodness of Debian, while trying to make it very accessible for new Linux users.
The Polish developers of the project announced today the new stable version Sparky Linux 5.9, which is released in LXDE and Minimal CLI flavors (without codecs, and X Server).
SparkyLinux version 5.9 is based on the stable "Buster" version of Debian and includes many package updates.
“There are new live/install ISOs of SparkyLinux 5.6 'Nibiru' available for download. This is the 4th and final update of the ISOs based on Debian Testing Buster this year.
The distribution comes with Linux kernel 4.19. The Calamares installer is at version 3.2.11. The distribution can also be installed with the Minimal ISO.
